That is a min..ifig indeed!
He's a Nether Hero, got squares in his eyes...
(with apologies to the band Foreigner)
Is he seriously only exclusive to one of the European magazines?
Strider? That's the worst Aragorn figure I've ever seen.
How can he walk with those legs made of pure silver!?
“Nether Hero.” Hero of the wild and untamed Nether Regions.

This combination of body parts is, though all the individual elements have appeared in other sets
Wow the new leaked D&D figs look great, but this one is a bit of a let-down.

Nope. That can go right in that attic from the Geico commercial. And lock My Dad in there, while you're at it.
You have no idea how much it still irks me that LEGO keeps making new custom characters for the LEGO Minecraft line when the Steve/Alex variants from Legacy Console, all the official Skin Packs from Mojang, and most of the Dungeon's skins still don't have figures :/

Not exactly. The face and torso prints appeared on a Minifig in another Minecraft set, but the magazine promo gave it a different set of armor.
(Clears throat...)(Best Lucy Van Pelt impression): YOU BLOCKHEAD!!! (Which now I realize: If Charlie Brown had been in Minecraft...:D)
He’s moving to the Nether, he’s moving to the Nether, he’s moving too-oo-OO-OO-oo-oo the Nether!

Granted, I haven't played Minecraft since before Netherite was introduced, but are you sure that's not iron? I have sets from before Netherite that used Silver Metallic to represent iron armor.
Are these alternate Minecraft character designs actually in the game, or something Lego's come up with for the sake of variety?

Lego just makes up these player skins for their sets; in the game people can make their own completely custom so in theory somebody could try to replicate this.
